"Little girl, have you noticed that the territories of these powerful factions are full of entertaining things? Don’t you just love it here?"
Lin Fan patted the little girl’s head. The surrounding environnt was lively and bustling. Not all mbers of the Qin Family focused solely on cultivation; after so much ti, a comprehensive system had long been established.
"I don’t like it."
The little girl, knowing Lin Fan’s intentions, coldly refused.
Qin Yang said, "Kids these days are just dishonest. Clearly, she loves it here, yet insists she doesn’t."
He could easily figure out Brother Lin’s thoughts.
Obviously, Lin Fan wanted the little girl to stay in the Qin Family.
Even if she didn’t want to live within the family compound, an external residence could be arranged, with a servant assigned to handle her daily needs—absolutely safe, without any risks.
That way, the three of them could embark on carefree adventures again.
Enter secret realms, battle formidable opponents, and fight their way through from beginning to end. How exhilarating.
In no ti.
Qin Yang led them to the Qin Family’s treasure storage.
He had already used up all his Immortal Treasures during his travels. Out there, he couldn’t project his signature aura when encountering strong opponents. Talk might be bold, but when it ca to actual combat, the pressure was enormous.
This feeling—who could truly empathize?
Approaching an elderly figure, Qin Yang said, "Outfit with a full set of Immortal Treasures befitting my rank and status."
The Immortal Treasures he previously had were specially crafted.
Given his position within the Qin Family,
he naturally didn’t need to refine treasures himself.
Once obtained, a drop of blood would activate them, yielding exceptional effects. Even when facing top-tier experts, he could dish out a ferocious counterattack.
That was his leverage.
The elder replied, "You’re not allowed to take any treasures from here—not even one."
"What?" Qin Yang’s eyes widened in disbelief and exclaid, "Are you serious? I’m Qin Yang, the Qin Family’s Little Immortal Venerable! Are you sure you’re denying ?"
He was stunned.
What was going on?
Why did it feel like everything had changed after his return?
"This is the Clan Leader’s order," the elder said. "If the Little Immortal Venerable desires any treasures, he should approach the Clan Leader."
Qin Yang stared expressionlessly at the elder, who t his gaze calmly.
Their exchange of looks seed to spark a vivid display akin to fireworks.
"Fine, fine."
Qin Yang muttered "Fine" twice, then departed helplessly. "Damn it—what the hell is this? Can we not ss around, seriously."
Could it be that his status within the Qin Family had truly plumted?
"Hey, don’t get disheartened. Perhaps it’s just a test for you. What do you say?"
Lin Fan patted Qin Yang’s shoulder.
He had thought that Qin Yang’s trip ho would mark his return as a dragon to the sea, stirring up waves and dazzling the world with his flair—yet he encountered barriers everywhere, getting brutally beaten down.
No doubt,
life is full of surprises.
"There’s no need for tests—that’s nonsense. If anything, maybe I should test their attitude toward ."
"Do they even know I carry twenty Immortal Treasures?"
"Do they know I possess two Holy Weapons?"
"It’s disappointing, really."
"Had they treated respectfully, I wouldn’t have minded offering them my twenty Immortal Treasures. But alas... opportunities lost don’t return."
Qin Yang was irked, but he refused to bow to defeat.
The treasures obtained from Dou Tian Immortal Venerable were all Killing Immortal Treasures.
None were for defense.
Traveling without protective treasures—those days were fraught with danger.
"Hmm, well said, quite reasonable."
Lin Fan, aiming to comfort Qin Yang, didn’t let him succumb to despair and instead expressed his full agreent.
Xiang Fei pondered for a mont and said, "Brother Qin, have you considered what might be causing all this? Or has your father found a new love and abandoned you, leaving you robbed of your privileges?"
"Impossible. I’m his only child; he can’t have more children." Qin Yang blurted out unfiltered, then swiftly covered his mouth, looking around nervously to ensure that no one overheard him. "Don’t spread this around, or I’m done for."
Lin Fan and Xiang Fei exchanged glances.
Oh!
So your dad is infertile?
Truly an astonishing revelation.
...
Inside the study.
Emperor Qin examined the items displayed before him.
"Heh, interesting—one seemingly newly ascended, the other with certain connections, yet they’ve co to the Eastern Desolate Domain."
"Capable of suppressing Left Immortal—indeed, they have so skill."
A faint smile of satisfaction appeared on his face, though he quickly masked it.
In this brief ti,
dossiers on Lin Fan and Xiang Fei had been compiled and presented.
Though not exhaustive,
their general profiles were clear.
The intelligence network of Immortal Venerable Families was highly sophisticated; evading their scrutiny wasn’t easy.
anwhile,
those Immortal Kings who had exited the Celestial Cave Mansion harbored bitter grudges against Lin Fan.
Of course,
given their status and standing, they wouldn’t actively seek conflict with these three.
Just leaking a hint of information was sufficient.
For instance: rumors of soone climbing Ancient Mountain from within the Celestial Cave Mansion and acquiring priceless treasures. Such tidbits would spark widespread interest, attracting countless hunters eager to exploit them for gains.
Anger seethed within these kings.
This group of insolent juniors—
despite their skill at breaking arrays, they chose to flaunt it rather than assist, blatantly showing off in front of them. Recalling such scenes alone could infla the acrimony.
Several days later.
Lin Fan and Xiang Fei had spent so ti in the Qin Family but began yearning for the colorful world outside.
Qin Yang also wasn’t keen to linger.
A fire burned in his chest—
a drive to venture out, carve a na for himself, strengthen his own power, and make sure no one ever dared to belittle him again.
Dong!
Dong!
A resounding bell chid.
The continuous ringing spread across the azure skies, stirring souls and inspiring Divine Souls—it heralded the arrival of an extraordinary artifact.
"Who’s here? Nine chis—unbelievable."
Qin Yang was taken aback.
"That’s the Qin Family’s ceremonial bell for welcoming esteed guests. Nine chis signify the highest honor."
As the Qin Family’s Little Immortal Venerable, he’d never heard nine chis in his lifeti.
Beyond the mansion.
In a distant expanse of sky, colorful rays and golden brilliance erupted, forming a grand spectacle. Within this vista appeared countless figures.
"The Heavenly Court has arrived."
Qin Yang froze, then suddenly panicked and shouted.
"Brother Lin, Brother Xiang—are we dood? Butterfly Fairy is the heiress of the Heavenly Court. Could she have reported us to her elders, bringing them here to seek retribution?"
It was entirely plausible.
The more he thought about it, the more fearful he beca, mixed with disdain.
Damn.
Can’t handle the ga and resorted to calling for backup?
"Not necessarily. If retaliation was their aim, do you think we’d still be standing here?"
Lin Fan didn’t believe it was trouble brewing.
Xiang Fei agreed, "I think so too. We should go and see—it’ll ease our worries."
The arrival of the Heavenly Court was undeniably solemn.
For the Qin Family, the Heavenly Court was a force of imnse power, overseeing vast territories like the Four Directions Domain.
While they aspired to control the region, countless influential groups stood opposed, unwilling to yield their territory to Heavenly Court rule.
Before long.
The trio blended into the gathered crowds, gazing toward the commotion in the distance.
The Heavenly Court’s display of grandeur was indeed breathtaking—the level of pomp extraordinary. That much was expected.
After all, it was the Heavenly Court.
How could such an entity make a casual entrance?
"Huh! Butterfly Fairy really ca."
Among the Heavenly Court’s entourage, Lin Fan spotted the striking figure—a stunning and incomparable beauty, identical to their first encounter, as radiant as ever, akin to the graceful bloom of a green lotus.
He instinctively glanced at his hand.
Nostalgia hit; he vividly rembered the sensation from back then.
Indeed, the mory lingered.
The Qin Family disciples noticed the Flower List’s third-ranked Butterfly Fairy, captivated by her visage and grace.
"So beautiful—absolutely breathtaking."
"If only I could get closer—that’d be a dream co true."
"Dream on. Given our status, even approaching is impossible."
"I’m rely imagining—can’t I?"
They fantasized boldly, for even wishing felt like a privilege. Without dreams, life would surely be unbearable.
At that mont.
Butterfly Fairy seed like a celestial beauty descending from the heavens. Suddenly, she felt a familiar gaze directed toward her, sparking a subtle unease. She scanned the crowd in search.
Her expression barely shifted, as though recalling monts from the past.
Lin Fan waved toward Butterfly Fairy.
He even playfully mimicked grasping motions with his hand.
Conveying the ssage:
We’ve t before, haven’t we? Don’t you rember?
Back then, I greeted you with that very hand.
Xiang Fei face-pald. "Good heavens, Brother Lin! Can you not behave like this? We’re still on Qin Family grounds, and Butterfly Fairy’s entourage includes Heavenly Court elites."
Low profile.
Wasn’t that what you always preached—keeping a low profile?
At that mont,
Butterfly Fairy began walking toward Lin Fan.
The disciples standing before Lin Fan grew ecstatic.
"Wow, the Fairy is approaching us."
"Clearly, she’s walking toward , okay?"
"She’s getting closer—so beautiful, truly breathtaking."
Even the Heavenly Court representatives and Qin Family leaders were astonished by her actions. Was she perhaps recognizing soone familiar?
Indeed, it seed unusual.
Butterfly Fairy’s aura was so commanding that many Qin Family disciples couldn’t resist stepping aside. In front of such a divine figure, they felt utterly insignificant.
Just one glance—their hearts overwheld.
In her presence, their self-deprecating inner voices compelled them to retreat. After all, they knew she wasn’t coming for them—why stand stubbornly in her way?
The reason was simple:
A lack of self-esteem.
As the crowd parted, countless male onlookers surrounding Butterfly Fairy gulped audibly. She was flawless—stunning from every angle. Her allure left them moved and restless.
They could only admire from afar, unable to do more.
So of the more shaless among them inwardly lanted.
What unearthly being could deserve the privilege of basking in such divine beauty?
Those with lower cultivation backgrounds quietly despaired, feeling unworthy compared to such a celestial being.
"Butterfly Fairy, it’s been a while—you’re even more stunning than when we first t."
Lin Fan greeted her with a smile, eyes locked on the Butterfly Fairy.
"I thought you’d forgotten."
Butterfly Fairy’s tone was calm and composed. For her, certain mories weren’t so easily forgotten.
Lin Fan grinned. "How could I forget soone as enchanting as you, Butterfly Fairy? Every ti I look at my hand, I recall the events of that day."
"Ah!"
"Perhaps this is what they an by destiny."
